True!  But I don't have £3899 just 'lying around'  :roll:

More importantly, can you afford £7798? Because we all know you'll end up buying two of them ;)

Fair enough but your GAS is pretty much an unstoppable force!
I think I hate being indecisive.

After doing some simple calculations this morning, I'd have to lose some nice guitars to buy the Eagle, so it's probably not going to happen. 

TBH, I thought you already had your collection pretty much stripped to the bone after getting the Tele!  You must be having to make some tough decisions.

So me sending you details of this one at a mere £2,999 will not help then?

It's a snip!  He's open to offers too!   :)

Very tasty guitar that.  I like.  Haven't got the cash though!

TBH, I thought you already had your collection pretty much stripped to the bone after getting the Tele!  You must be having to make some tough decisions.

Not quite to the bone, I've still got 20 guitars  :lol:

But when you break it down:

Two Martin acoustics (one six and one twelve string)
Epi SG and LP Junior Lite ('DC guitars)
McCarty maple top / Gordon Smith SG-1 / Kramer Baretta (Doppelganger guitars)
JV Squier Strat (my first electric, going nowhere)
CS Tele / McCarty Korina #1 (going nowhere either!)
Ibanez RG20th / RG550 #1 / RG550 #2 (all in Road Flare Red, and staying!)

And then I already have for sale:

McCarty Korina #2
Signature LP

So that leaves possible guitars to sell:

Jackson Dinky with VHIIs
Ibanez RG770DX in Laser Blue
Les Paul Junior Special singlecut in red
Squier CV Tele
PRS Mira

That would give me about £3500, but I would lose the Mira and Jackson Dinky which I would rather not part with...

Looks like that's the decision made!

If I had money I'd help your funding by taking your Dinky and CV Tele away :D

I'd be well interested in that Mira if it had a Regular neck  :) ... and I had the money  :( .

There's certainly some Dinky love isn't there??  :lol:

It's a great guitar, but maybe I should sell it...

This may be fighting talk to a PRS fan, but have you tried an Eggle?  Some people prefer them to a PRS and some don't.  You could buy loads of them for that sort of money  :lol:
Advice worth what you just paid for it.

Yep tried one.  Didn't like the smaller than PRS body shape  ;)
